Today happen to recall watching his wonderful creations. Mary Beth and Nolan were team created in heaven. He knew what women liked. Gifted talented artist. Gone not forgotten. RIP Mr. Millar-🌹

One of my favorite pairs of earrings are his Lido-- diamond shaped with deep blue center stone/clear surrounding crystals, which converted into drops. The drops on these were oval w/ lighter blue center stones. I've worn the posts often, and the drops are too dressy for my every day attire.

Yes, he sure did nice jewelry!

What pieces do you have, Sweet_Serenity?

I have a few of his pins. My very favorite piece is the Angel that he designed for Mary Beth. I bought that and wear it mostly around the holidays. I just love it! Their shows were pure class.

Remember models wearing his gowns? Those were wonderful times at Qvc. Stories of golden age of Hollywood.

I have one of his pretty art deco watches and a pretty pearl floral necklace. Who can forget all of those gorgeous clothes that he designed for the tv show "Dynasty"? It was must see tv just for the clothes alone.

I miss Nolan Miller too. I have several pieces of his jewelry. A couple pearl sets, a big swan pin, and a giant pearl/faux sapphire pearl necklace enhancer that is so big and garish I keep thinking why did I buy THAT?

Loved how the models wore his evening gowns. Some of the show callers were amazing. I remember one in particular...a woman claimed she was a CIA agent and wore Nolan Miller jewelry to work almost every day. Always wondered if that was a real caller. Although I have known some pretty amazing professional women through the years who did collect some pretty glitzy jewelry, women normally so serious one never would have suspected they had a drawer full of full-out glitz Swarovski crystal pins and necklaces.

RIP Nolan. Thank you for helping us celebrate being women with sparkle, glitz and glamour!

I always loved watching Nolan too..He was so classy and dignified.I loved the gowns and really watched every show just to see him looking so fabulous like he took the time to dress just for us.I have his breast cancer bow pin.I bought two but I was wearing one and a lady complimented it and told me she was a survivor so I just had to give it to her.

He knew what women liked - how I wish the Q would take up on that. We don't like computers and blenders. That's not romantic. We like products that make you feel cared about. Like someone knows your likes and tastes. Having that sensitivity is a rare gift.

I loved to watch Nolan Miller. I own only one piece , a pin , Sofia Rose that he created for Sofia Loren. I get many compliments when I wear it.

The dresses I think was made by his partner, Marc Zunnino. He is now well known wedding dresses designer. Very popular at Kleinfield NYC. And other places.

Yes, very sad that very best and classy people are gone forever.

I only bought a couple of his pieces. I had no idea I had a sensitivity to nickel until I wore them and broke out in a bad rash. No more of that.

I enjoyed Nolan's shows too. The gowns were gorgeous and Nolan was great to listen to. He was a gentle soul. The glamour of it all was just so much fun.

I recently saw a biography of Barbara Stanwyck in which Nolan credited her for giving him his start in design. She met him and liked him personally and started buying his clothes before he became famous.

I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Nolan.

Joan Rivers used to joke about how the models like Nolan better than her.

Those were the best shows on QVC. I loved hearing all of his stories about dressing famous women. I have an obsession with pins and bought about 6 or 7 of his. But the one that I always got the most compliments on was his original calla lily pin. It got to a point where I just carried around the item number in my wallet. I always felt like a million dollars when I wore his jewelry. There has been no one since that equals the quality and beauty of his jewelry. Keeping in mind that I bought most of the items 20 years ago I wonder if they would sell as well today, since everyone dresses so casually these days. Even office attire is much more casual than 20 years ago. I would still buy his pieces and I'm retired now and not much occasion to wear them, but they were just so darned beautiful. I truly miss him on QVC.
